The new in the world of technology

Size matters. In the world of technology, it’s an endless battle to make something either the smallest and thinnest, or the biggest. When it comes to TVs, we’ve been seeing a steady increase in their size. Gone are the days when a 32” TV would be more than enough – it won’t be long before the smallest screen size you’ll be able to buy is 45”. A big screen TV means that you’re serious about your home entertainment. Wouldn’t you rather relax in your own home in front of a giant 4k TV screen than trudge down to the cinema? Some people think that construction companies will soon start to sell apartments with a 100-inch or larger TV installed on a wall. TVs are getting bigger, and there is a distinct trend toward larger TVs in the global market. According to several research firms, the average TV size around the world has reached larger than 40-inches as of 2016. That is the biggest average TV size in the history of the market. By 2020, that number is expected to increase to ...

The recently-launched  Samsung Galaxy A80  boasts a novel feature: three cameras in a slide-up panel which could rotate to face either the front or back.  Tri-cam rear setups are nothing new, with recent phones like the  Huawei P30 Pro  packing four snappers, but the Galaxy A80’s 'wow factor' was that its three cameras could spin around to the front and take selfies. We hadn’t seen a front-facing loadout with three cameras before, and weren’t sure how useful they’d be. But with the news that both  LG and Xiaomi could be working on handsets with three front-facing cameras , it seems that some companies are making bigger tech leaps in their front – not rear – cameras, which marks a change from what we usually see. That raises the question: are we going to see phonemakers pivot their focus from rear-mounted cameras to front-facing snappers? ?Why three cameras  The three cameras on the Samsung Galaxy A80 are a powerful main snapper joined b...

Microsoft has previously said that it expects to bring the new Chromium-powered version of Edge to other platforms outside of Windows, specifically mentioning the Mac, and freshly unearthed evidence indicates the browser will indeed be arriving on macOS – and possibly relatively soon. This comes from a German tech website,  Windows United , which was running Chromium-based Edge on Windows Server 2016, and received a message that the platform is not supported – with a clarification that the browser only currently supports Windows 10 version 1709 or better, and  macOS 10.12  or newer. This ‘platform not supported’ message mentions compatibility with macOS 10.12 or better (Image credit: Windows United) So assuming this grab is legit, that would seem to suggest support for the Mac is now inbound, with macOS Sierra being the cut-off point (the version of Apple’s desktop operating system which was released in 2016). Windows United further speculates that ...

When the FCC scrapped  net neutrality  legislation in 2017, many media outlets and analysts warned that it was only a matter of time until a company took advantage of the situation to create a so-called “fast lane” or an optimized internet connection.  And today’s the day it finally happened. First reported by Brian Crecente at  Variety , an American ISP called Cox is introducing a new package for subscribers called  Cox Elite Gamer  that will offer 34% less lag, 55% fewer ping spikes and 45% less jitter for its subscribers who play PC games like Fortnite, Overwatch and Apex Legends. The service, which is only available only for Cox subscribers in the state of Arizona for the next three months for a trial run, works by giving anyone who subscribes to it an “optimized path” to a game’s server using a white-labeled version of   wtfast .  To join, you’ll have to subscribe to one of Cox’s internet service packages, which rang...

The  Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti  and 1650 have finally arrived on laptops, making more powerful budget gaming laptops available to everyone.  When the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti launched back in February, it changed the budget graphics card landscape entirely.

Well, the wait is over. Laptop manufacturers from Asus to MSI have their own gaming laptops featuring these budget GPUs, covering a wide range of different price points and configurations. We went ahead and sorted through all the different product announcements and laid out all the important details below.  Image Credit: Lenovo Lenovo Lenovo is refreshing a chunk of its Legion lineup with Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti and 1650 graphics.
